This image is with the little camera and the little mount with the old laptop and a small refractor - a setup I fool around with while my main system is imaging. This object is usually taken in a wider field (usually including NGC7822 as well), but this is a small close up showing some of the pillar structure. Image is here:

Looks great. Amazing what an 80mm scope can do.
